IL'ites helping other IL'ites by Jey posted Nov 29, 2017 at 12:22 AM Dear IL'ites, In a very unique way, you all are friendly and helpful. Not just to people you know, but to complete strangers. That's what makes us a very special community on the web. And that's what makes us immensely proud. But there remains a small number of unanswered threads in our community. Those unanswered threads imply that some IL'ites aren't getting the help they asked. They either aren't getting the feedback they are looking for or aren't getting their queries answered etc. To make sure that *every* IL'ite gets helped, we just launched a small widget on the side that shows all unanswered threads in our community (started in past 30-days). As soon as all threads are answered, it shows a nice message for all of us. It would be amazing if that box is always empty. Always showing that nice message. I need all your help to take a few minutes to answer some unanswered threads. Lets empty that box! Can you help? Jey PS - What is that nice message you ask. You will find out as soon as that box is empty. PPS - What's up with the cat? It's all of us helping
FAQs 1. What if I can't help that IL'ite? This mostly happens where the question is related to a specific city and you are not from that place. If you know some other IL'ites who can help, please tag them. Else, move down the list. 2. What if the thread is in a wrong forum? Please report it and the moderators will move to the right forum. 3. What if the thread is a spam? Please report it and the moderators will delete them.
To get it going, tagging some senior IL'ites. Please tag some people who can help out. @Rihana @Gauri03 @sokanasanah @Srama @Ragini25 @Shanvy @satchitananda @Vasumathy @Arunarc @yellowmango @GoogleGlass @Amica
Hi, that's very nice! Am wondering where this widget is located on the page. Can this widget be viewed on a phone too or only on laptops ?
@ashneys If you are viewing this on a laptop or desktop, you should see this "Unanswered Threads" block on the right. If you are viewing this on a phone or tablet, you should see the block below the discussions. Please let me know if you were abel to figure it out or not. Else, I can attach a screenshot. Thanks.
Hi Jey! I couldn't see the widget on the right. Will this be visible to all? And, the cat is super cute!
Tell Me About Yourself - is a fiction thread. Needs no "answers" - views maybe! Déjà vu - is a poem. Ditto as above.
That is so from Mars. Here goes some Venus: Writers of fiction or poems post their piece and wait for responses like a kid for Santa on Christmas eve. Likes are nice to get, but actual response post is better. A response post that is more than a line long even better. The following explains it better: Haircuts - The Difference Between Men and Women | Funny ****
